You can never really feel bad about your class when you're getting some serious hog mollies in back to back years.

Amen to that! Hiestand deserves a monument for what he's done in his short time here so far.

He looks like he would rip your head off just for looking at him. I like!

 

[Bogtrotter07]

It doesn't matter, ratings at this point. These kids are dripping with potential, and motivation. They are versatile. And one thing hardly ever noted, that is a big advantage; they have hardly any "bad" habits!

 

[IrishFaninTX]

Besides Bama, I'm not sure who else is pulling in this kind of OL talent. It has to be a great recruiting tool for RB's.

I know Stanford usually brings in a good OL class. I don't know what they have this year but they had 2-3 years of top 5 OL classes not too long ago. Not sure about Michigan. I know they had one really good class in the last few years but not sure if they had anything else.

This will be ND's second year of a top 5 class.

Hiestandard.


Edit: Michigan was good last year, but not this year. Scout doesn't even have them in the top 15 for o-line for this year.

 

[NDhoosier]

Where is our Oline ranked? I personally think it should be top 3...

This was the last bump I wanted to see given yesterday and today, lol.

Okay, how did he drop? I know that it's not a major drop, but the dude absolutely destroyed the competition that week. He was the best lineman there! WTF!?

Under armor bias. It's not that he had a bad week it's just other players made higher jumps. We are getting a top 30 player in the country!

 

[rtrn2glory]

so according to Q, Martin dominated in the game and you couple that with his impressive week in practice there's no doubt he's a 1st rounder as long as he stays healthy and doesn't do something ridiculously bad at the combine

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

another scary bump. smh

 

[Rack Em]

Warriner visited today. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT according to TJ.

But I thought Jake Brown's response to the thread was classic Jake Brown:

If we brought it up every time another staff continued to go after Notre Dame commitments we could hire another person just for that task. That's major college football recruiting and, frankly, it would be more concerning if nobody else was after your guys...

LOL go do your job instead of tell us how hard it is to keep up with.

ISD says Nelson told his athletic director to inform coaches from other schools he is committed to Notre Dame and doesn't want to talk to them.

A source close to me is confirming he in fact did say this too.

Gotta love this guy

 

[BostonND]

I wasn't scared by this bump because if it were bad news there would be about 100 more response posts by now

 

[Luckylucci]

247 rates our OL class as the 5th best in the country. Led by Mr. Nelson.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Wow I really want to see the four ahead! Honesty, I don't believe it.

 

[NDBoiler]

Wow I really want to see the four ahead! Honesty, I don't believe it.

For one, Bama's is light years ahead. Their class is nasty.

 

[Luckylucci]

Alabama, OSU, Miami, USC, and ND.

 

[Luckylucci]

If Jamarco Jones decommits from OSU then we'd pass them. No chance passing Bama. USC has two highly rated OG's and may bring in Mama. The real head scratcher is Miami. They have McDermott and that's basically it for highly rated lineman. Bars and Nelson alone beat there class, IMO.

[OCIrish]

I'd still take our class over tOSU's any day......

 

[Bogtrotter07]

I still can't see how OSU's line is rated ahead of ours with Jamarco Jones. And USC needs tackles. And a center. And I though McDermott was tanking?

As far as Alabama. This will be a good barometer of how good Harry Hiestand is. Let us see who turns out the pros, in four or five years.
